Replying To The_analyser: "If that little rant made you happy then knock yourself out.
A bit of credit to Roscommon wouldn't go a miss, would have got long odds for our Seniors to win by 10 points last Sunday and last night our U20s were 7/2 to win.
Your Seniors are still well capable of bouncing back in the All-Ireland series and whiie your high fancied U20 team are now out I have no doubt you'll see plenty of that group going on to be established Seniors in the years ahead which is the real success of underage football.
@ Yew Tree, Mayo in crisis is nonsense." It's not a rant. Mayo get absolutely slaughtered on here but tend to bounce back and beat Roscommon further down the line. Roscommon have class players and forwards if they are let play. No rant here but I've read all the same stuff before. I was on here when Mayo were beat by Ros under Davy Burke. It's like groundhog day.
Mayo are judged differently because they have made finals and never got over the line. Whereas other teams who have done nothing in Croke Park seem to get a free pass. That's my overall point.

Devastating blow to lose Luke for the season. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Hes entitled to post what he wants on social media but it could have been held off until after Sunday . Keep Kildare guessing I guess. I heard he was 50 50 and wouldnt know until the warm up on Sunday but that confirms it

Replying To TheFlaker: "Lads we've been down this road before time and time again with Roscommon teams. There's always a massive over reaction when Mayo lose. Half the people in the country are waiting for them to lose so they can pile on. Now all of a sudden Roscommon are the bees knees. As they were under Davy Burke 3 years ago and as they were under McStay around 2017. They haven't won a championship game in Croke Park since 1980. Let's see where they when they hit Croker." If that little rant made you happy then knock yourself out.

It was hard to believe our lack of intensity and belief . I really hope along with the management team he can help us deliver a completely different performance next Saturday

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "And risk more injuries? No.
Would make more sense to arrange a challenge game.
There's going to be no more additions to the panel either." Eddie , injury? Is it only at club players get injured or something? Look at what happened with the challenge game v the 20s, didn't help either. Club games are there so why not release lads to get games?

Replying To yew_tree: "Thanks to the Galway lads for pointing out the obvious. It's open season now on Mayo football and we just have to suck it up. Another bad defeat, loads of mistakes and the depressing thing about it, Kobe again by far our best player is moving to Oz in a few weeks.
Mayo football is in crisis make no mistake about it." Its a complete over reaction to say Mayo football is in crisis . Seniors had 1 bad half of football where nothing went right and everything went right for a good roscommon team. U20 team were excellent and played some great football and were unlucky to lose to a very good ros team whose 1 point win over Galway last week did not reflect their dominance in that game. I would argue that Mayo football is still healthy and in every bit as good a shape as Galway. Neither county are in brilliant shape but neither county are in crisis. Ros on the other hand are on the crest of a wave.

8 Hurling Rules Changes - 1 Like(s)
I like the rule suggested in that article, that teams would be penalised for shouting throw.
I'd be up for introducing that for all appeals to the ref - appealing to the ref is ok for cricket - get it out of hurling (and football)

Replying To ohwow: "It just shows the farce of this teacup system that we could be playing Down even though they have beaten last years AI finalists. Time to scrap it and have the old qualifier system with a second chance in place." What old qualifier system? Oh, the one where Leitrim won loads and loads of matches and ended up in numerous finals! That one.... RIGHT!

There is generally one common denominator, Addiction. People who rack up that many convictions just dont care anymore. By that I mean that their need out weighs the risk to their liberty.
I would need to see the official statistics and data, is that information widely available to support what you are saying?
Contrary to what you seem to think there is a maximum sentence to each crime or offence so " locking them up for life" isnt an option and never will be for shop lifting or possession. Most people with over 100 convictions have them for minor crimes.
20 years isn't life, a nice hefty sentence would remove such hassle from society for a long time. We are too soft on crime.
If they were serious criminals they would have over 100 as they would be locked up for much longer periods throughout their life. Of course there are always exceptions but when you see over 100 convictions think serious addiction and/or mental health issues. Its normally on the money.

At which point does stealing vehicles, assault shop managers who challenge you for parking in their door way or robbing/Vulnerable elderly people become serious?

Replying To yew_tree: "The Flaker - In fairness it will be 30 years this summer since Mayo lost to Meath after a replay. Mayo have been in what….10 All Ireland finals in those 30 years (not including replays) so we've been in 1/3 of all football finals without winning a single one.
It's a remarkable and depressing record from our point of view so naturally Mayo teams are judged fairly or unfairly by those standards (competing at the business end and getting to finals).
Roscommon aren't judged the same as Mayo and why would they?" I have you arguing this point and another poster saying this group should not be judged by these standards. Sums up this place.

Replying To yew_tree: "My crisis comment was no reflected just at last night. I watch a lot of Mayo club football and there is a crisis in my honest and humble opinion. Nothing wrong with losing an underage title like last night, that's a very good Roscommon team.
However a running theme, Mayo beat them a few weeks ago yet are beaten when it really matters, like the minor team a few years ago in the all Ireland final. Mayo can not close out games when on top, from senior back down to minor and it's happening over and over again.
Out S&C once the best along with Dublin does not look up to scratch now. Mayo had a branch review report written up by Liam Horan 15 years ago and the recommendations were all ignored by the County Board. Enough said." Mayo have won plenty of close games in recent years too, such as last year's U20 Connacht final, you're just choosing to ignore those.
Mayo beat Roscommon narrowly a few weeks ago but it's always difficult to beat the same team again in quick succession.

It was a bit of rant in fairness. You should focus on the matches just played than what might happen down the line.
Current Mayo Seniors shouldn't be judged differently as few of the current players has reached All-Ireland finals and the few that have are well past their best now.

An absolutely engrossing game from start to finish. I was delighted Roscommon won even more so because of the manner of our defeat last year in this fixture with that disallowed goal. We can sit back and relax tonight and watch Kerry v Cork to see our semi final opponents. These are such exciting times for Roscommon football. It's just great to see it. Full credit to all who work on the ground developing gaelic games in our county.
